More local counties get disaster proclamations from flooding

The declaration is the third made by Branstad since storms and flooding caused widespread damage to homes, roads and businesses in the state. He previously issued two disaster proclamations in April covering Cedar, Iowa, Johnson, Lee, Mahaska, Muscatine, Scott and Washington counties.

The governor’s disaster emergency proclamation activates the state’s Individual Assistance Program, which provides for state and federal emergency relief funding for affected areas.
